This is my fourth year staying at Mel’s place, and I won’t stay anywhere else. Mel is friendly, attentive, and truly cares about her guests. I recommend her place to everyone looking for a private, quiet place to camp.

Mel’s place is such a treasure. It is close to the park but set back from Terlingua in a way that makes it feel private and secluded. An excellent spot for the price.
